GHANA goalkeeper Richard Kingson is hoping to secure a reunion with Steve Bruce by joining Wigan.

The 30-year-old is a free agent after being released by Birmingham earlier this summer and, according to reports, could be snapped up by his former manager at the West Midlands club.

With current number one Chris Kirkland out injured, Bruce is slightly thin on the goalkeeping front and may turn to the Ghanaian custodian (pictured) as cover for Michael Pollitt.

And Kingston is confident that a move to the Latics is not too far away.

He said: "Very soon I will be back in action. I am hoping the move goes through to Wigan Athletic.

"Steve Bruce has shown a lot of faith in me. At Birmingham he was good to me maybe because I showed him I am a true professional. But I made mistakes in England and have learned from them.

"I am in no doubt that if I get my chance again I will prove the first was just a minor dip and not the real me," he added.
